Abstract
TanDEM-X is an interferometric SAR (InSAR) mission acquiring bistatic images with two satellites. Systematic mapping of the Earth´s land masses will provide individual interferometric data sets which will be mosaicked and calibrated into a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The concept of InSAR and DEM quality monitoring throughout the acquisition and processing phase is presented in this paper.
